Addendum to #2: The Seven Trumpets Relate To The First Four Seals

See ADDENDUM #1 Leviticus 26: (v. 1-13) Promises upon keeping the precepts.
See ADDENDUM #3 Leviticus 26 (v. 40-46) God promises to remember those that repent.

ADDENDUM #2 Leviticus 26: (v. 14-39) Threatenings against disobedience

Leviticus 26:14 But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;
{15} And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:
{16} I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
{17} And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

Terror, consumption, fever, sorrow, fruitless seed with their enemies eating their food, being slain, their enemies ruling over them whle they flee. Certainly these are appropriate for the seals and trumpets of Revelation. Remember that Daniel was told that this time concerns his people and the holy city in the latter times. And the first four seals of Revelation, for instance, speak of one who goes out to conquer, a great sword is mentioned, the balances tipped against the people of Israel regarding their crops, as well as death, famine, sword, wild beasts, pestilences, all of these much like what is described in Leviticus 26.

In the next few verses, we see basically the same likeness:

Leviticus 26: 18 And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.
{19} And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:
{20} And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.

Dan 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

In the next set of verses, the Lord says if they still don't repent, He will make matters much worse than it has been from His previous chastisements. Notice the same similarities in the following verses and those of Revelation, and then I want to make an important point about the Day of Atonement: more plagues, wild beasts, cattle destroyed, again the sword to avenge the quarrel of God's covenant, pestilence, being ruled their enemies, famine which breaks their staff of bread, God's fury, destruction of their high places which housed their idols (Rev 6:16; Hosea 10:8; Luke 23:30), Jerusalem and its cities and sanctuary made desolate and Israel scattered. Verse 22 says God will make them few in number, so again we have the reduction of numbers to bring out a remnant:

{21} And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
{22} I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate.
{23} And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;
{24} Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.
{25} And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
{26} And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
{27} And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;
{28} Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.
{29} And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
{30} And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
{31} And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.
{32} And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
{33} And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.

In the following verses is the reason for it all:

Leviticus 26:34 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.

This verse is more fully explained in Leviticus 25:

Lev 25:8 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years. Lev 25:9 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.

In other words, what comes upon Israel in Leviticus 26 IS A RESULT OF disobedience to what the Lord said in Leviticus 25. Will Israel and the world accepting the benefits of the efforts of all who are uniting the world for a global Juiblee bring on the plagues of Leviticus 26, culminating in the desolation of the land and the world when Christ comes to retore all things? Return of land to its proper owner, forgiveness of debt, feeding the world's poor through united global effort are all parts of the Jubilee being promoted by the United Nations, the Pope, and apostate Christianity, and a year of Jubilee is always offcially declared on the Day of Atonement. I'm sure you get the idea here. In other words, in the very first section of the Forum page there are two charts that depict how things would fit into the feast and fast days with Passover or the Day of Atonement as the start of Daniel's 70th week. What I have written on the seals and trumpets would favor the beginning of Daniel's 70th week as the Day of Atonement, as well as the chart that I posted. I am still thnking this all out as I read the Scriptures. It does sound plausible.

The end result of Israel not resting its land in the Jubilee year? God devastates it so the land will rest as He said it should, and that picture fits the tribulation period and Daniel's 70th week very well:

Leviticus 26:35 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
{36} And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.
{37} And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
{38} And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
{39} And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.
